Understand different overhead paging integration design options to utilize IP speakers, zone controllers, and the InformaCast Legacy Paging Interface for emergency notification.
Aspirus in northern Wisconsin deploys InformaCast across its facilities to standardize paging procedures. This has led to faster response times since staff only need to press a button on their Cisco phones to initiate a message.
Over the summer, schools in Tampa Bay reassessed their speaker and zone controller needs and installed Wahsega Labs’ Two-Classroom 2x2 Ceiling Speaker. These cost-effective speakers integrate with InformaCast to provide a secure learning environment.
InformaCast played a key role in notifying our campus about the water main break and the need to use bottled water. I was able to quickly record a message and send it to the campus from my office at home. Our students commented how effective this was in letting them know what was going on.

The fact that we can use [InformaCast] for both audio alerting and visual alerting, that was great.

InformaCast provided us with a unified system with ease of management that allows us to even communicate with the baseball field and the weightlifting room wirelessly.

What I like most is the usability of InformaCast. It has a simple user interface and works without complications.

It worked very successfully. We were able to do a complete lockdown on our whole campus within about five minutes of initiating the alert to people.
